Jarosilová, Veronika ; Heryán, Ladislav (advisor) ; Roskovec, Jan (referee)
This bachelor thesis entitled "The Story of Biblical Ruth and Its Inspiration for Social Issues of Today's Society" is focused on the analysis of the book Ruth, comparison of some of its interpretations and application on social issues of today's society. Although it is a short book, its importance is not negligible. The Jews even read it in the synagogues during the feast of weeks known as Pentecost. Thus, it belongs among the five festive scrolls. Some general facts about the book, like its origins, are still being discussed. There are, however, no great differences between the interpretations of the book compared in this thesis. The authors agree on a hopeful message with the call to faith in God and love for others. The Book of Ruth can be inspiring on issues of individualism and indifference, prejudice or care for the elderly. It is a book full of kindness, generosity, family cohesion and mutual solidarity. KEYWORDS: faith, hope, interpretation, inspiration, love, solidarity
